I Completed My Phantom Relic, But...

But this thread was from you like 3 days ago:

Pick a lane.

Someone is allowed to change their mind when they reach a point in the grind that does not feel well tuned. They don't have to pick a single lane; just because they were content with the first step doesn't mean they have to be content with the second.

There's hardly anything different about what's being asked of the player. In fact, this is even easier than filling the aetherwells. That's the issue.

OP literally just said they don't feel rushed in this step; the expectations were manageable, and is doing roulette content that haven't been seen/done in years. So it hardly makes any sense that when it's suddenly now collecting 1,500 Heliometry tomestones per weapon (just like the last step, mind you, nothing new there) instead of filling another aetherwell, it's "ridiculous."

What makes collecting 1,500 Helimetry tomestones (off of different roulettes, which was part of the step the OP just praised?) so different from reaching 9999 four times in an aetherwell off of 4 specific roulettes? You essentially can accomplish the same thing from the same roulettes, if not more; Heliometry tomestones are rewarded from nearly every roulette.

Nobody is rushing anybody to collect all of the relic weapons from this step. Collecting these particular tomestones is managable (doing all the available roulettes in a day will get you almost halfway to 1,500), and you can still do the roulette content you enjoyed and more from the aetherwell portion. Almost literally nothing has changed.

If the argument was about it being yet another tomestone hand-out step, yeah, there's a point to be made there, but it's not. OP just wants it down to 500 tomestones, which is basically a free relic weapon per day. It's nothing about how "well-tuned" this step is. There's nothing legitimate about that gripe.

You absolutely can change your mind about things, but it's actually quite hilarious to do so within the span of a few days after singing of its praises repeatedly and over something so trivial and similar to what you were already doing.
